Thanks again to tom for hosting the ride, all the Via guys had fun. nice to air out the bikes. Sorry for being not that talkative, coworker's birthday party the night before was still in my system, good way to work it out on a ride. We ran a little late getting there, so there we didn't really show all the stuff we had brought with us for trade/sale. the PX10 Joe was speaking of was late50s-early 1960s, 54cm center to center. $200. Simplex dropouts. just frame and fork. Photos can be made availible for anyone interested, Back to the ride, it was a beautiful day, and there was a nice array of beautiful bikes, Mike Schmidt won best bike in my eyes, hard to beat a chrome Herse! He even bridged the gap on the mini "breakway" to the halfway stop. Maybe this summer we will host a ride out of Philly, get a couple hills into the mix. joel flood philadelphia, PA

Great ride and I think the wind was actually kind vs. the potential. Curtis of Via bikes brought his cute tyke of 18 months and they picked up a prime on the 25 foot overpass climb. Curtis had a nice late 50's PX-10 frame for sale. I didn't ask the price because I rode my '51 PH-10 but it is in very nice shape, blue with yellow accents is a classic and it is a great candidate if you have a donor bikes worth of parts. We had some new faces turn out for the ride and Tom and Christine were great hosts.
